Who is your guardian?

What are your systems which create the confines of which you often come across?

What are your credences that when the world meets you, makes you react in a certain way?

Do you follow a certain way of being because someone at some point told you something about something; and you took it as THE TRUTH?

When was the last time you used your critical thinking to explore the world around you?

When was the last time you went outside your home, and you truly looked at the world?

When did you just exist for the sake of existing; not thought, no judgement, no assumption?

In this busy world of information, have you taken the time to contemplate how the leaves shimmer in the sunlight, how the rain drop runs down your window?

When did you re-connect with the inner so that the outer can be easier to manage?

When was the last time you took 100% responsibility for that which is taking place around you? For when we are responsible, we are able to respond to the world rather than react and if we take 100% responsibility for that which takes place; it is only then that we can say that “I am my own guardian”.

When did you show up for yourself, and yourself alone? Not because you had to, but truly showed up for YOU? When you had your morning coffee or tea or hot chocolate, you did this taking your time, no distraction, but did if savouring every sip?

When did you eat lunch or breakfast or dinner again taking your time savouring the flavour of what you were eating instead of shovelling in the food as if you were feeding a furnace?

In our busy world, we forget to delight in the stillness of the world. We are busy hustling; this thing called life and forget that on our journey we are here to enjoy the experience.

This wonderful street artist embodying a golden angel stood still on the corner in Barcelona (Spain). She was so still that she became part of the street. She asked in return to be tagged on Instagram. Could you stay still for just 5minutes observing how your lungs expand and contract, how your body just knows how to take that breath just at the right time, so your body has the right level of oxygen.

Have you checked in with your body, to make sure that you know how it feels?

Have you become your own guardian? Or do you expect your guardian to arrive, at some point, some time, whenever?
